We’ve all had our moments of discontent with beauty procedures. As women, we’ve learned secrets from our girlfriends, mothers and sisters. On occasion, we’ve experimented on our own to learn the tricks to beauty success. I’m sure every woman has funny stories to share about their trials and tribulations with beauty. I’ve learned secrets from beauty pageant contestants, strippers and drag queens. I’ve enveloped myself in duct tape, argued with my father over jewelry and plucked more hair on my body than anyone should ever pluck. Each beauty tip has a humorous story that will make you laugh and you might just learn something new.

life in the suburbs, bay area, ca. May 2007

From the transgender immigrant project- 'J'- Manila to the bayLubitel- russian medium format

‘J’- from Manila to the Bay.

‘Transgender’ is a general term applied to individuals, behaviors and groups involving tendencies that diverge from normative gender role (male and female) commonly, but not always assigned at birth, as well as the role traditionally held by society.

Transsexual, transgender, cross dresser, transvestite, tranny, t-girl, gay, fag, homo, drag queen, queer, genderqueer, and androgynous are some terms we may hear for individuals who don’t quite fit neatly into the gender category of man or woman. The media and societal understanding is usually limited to portraying male to female (mtf) transgender women as being abnormal, drag performers, entertainers and sex workers. In the last couple of years, there has been a rise in hate crimes and murders against transgender individuals in the Bay Area, including a recent murder of a transgender Latina in the Mission district of San Francisco where I reside. The Bay Area has also been the site of federal immigration raids that have targeted undocumented immigrants. The recent debates on immigration, the lack of understanding about transgender issues and murders of transgender women motivated me to do a documentary project that explores themes of gender and sexuality intersecting with being a transgender immigrant in the United States of America.

I originally envisioned the project to be about someone who was immersed in the transgender community in the city of San Francisco, but instead I encountered a 28 year old transgender woman who recently arrived from Manila, Philippines to a suburbs of the Bay Area. Nested in her aunt’s middle class home in the hills, ‘J’ countered the isolation of the suburbs by using the Internet to connect to people. While she has the financial and emotional support of her relatives here, she tries her best to live independently. She works a part time job from her relatives’ connections but is scared to look for jobs in what she calls a conservative Filipino community known to have reported undocumented immigrants for rewards from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She aspires to be a singer-performer-model and is learning make-up tips from her cousin. These photos attempt to show a little glimpse in the life of ‘J’ as an immigrant transgender woman negotiating gender, femininity and life in the U.S.
